You should make sure the wheel's hub bore is designed for the car, or get hubcentric rings to make it fit correctly. This way, the load is on the hub ring and the lugs are just holding the wheel tight against the mounting surface.
I just received confirmation that the bore is fine, does that mean I will still need hub rings? Or will tapered lugs be fine?
